Chapter 422: Take control of the crew
"APLUS, COULD YOU PLEASE SHARE YOUR THOUGHTS ON MR. JOVOVICH'S COMMERCIAL FRAUD CASE?"
The reporter really came quickly, and blocked Song Ya outside the campus, he glanced at it roughly, many of them were not often cooperative, so he hurried forward.
"Or talk about Lowry Jr.'s case, are you optimistic about his appeal?"
"Get out of the way, please get out of the way......" Old Mike and the others surrounded him, lining up the stalking reporters.
"Are you still in touch with Miss Mira? Do you know her whereabouts? ”
"APLUS, SAY SOMETHING! I got the news from an anonymous employee of New York Radio, who said that in your early years, in a private chat between interviews, you angrily accused Mira's father of being a liar, are you an insider? How much do you know about his business? ”
"Has Mira borrowed money from you? Or did his father borrow money from you? ”
The private police officer from the University of Chicago rushed to help, "I have no comment, I don't know the situation, and Mr. Jovovich's case is still pending, so I can't make any comments, I'm sorry." Song Ya dropped the sentence and hurriedly got rid of the entanglement.
Mila went to France, along with his mother and agent, and according to the latest account, her father's accomplices were extradited from the Netherlands to the country in March, the same time her father, Mr. Jovovich, was barred from leaving the country, and his Argentine lover ran back to South America at that time.
So now how much fraud money these related figures have taken away has become the most concerned thing for the media in the United States, and Mila has naturally become the cusp again.
"A tabloid in Hollywood said that when Mira was shopping on Rodeo Avenue near Beverly Hills in February, all her credit cards had been frozen, and she was able to get out of it with the help of a celebrity friend who also helped her pay the bill for a winter vacation to the Bahamas......
Between classes, Halle Berry called and gossiped about "and the news that Mila had actually stolen a friend's credit card instead of volunteering to help." ”
"It's a shame whether it's true or not." Song Ya knows Mira's character, and this kind of news is more likely to crush her than the media attacks after the last box office fiasco.
"Yes." Hallie asked, "Will you lend a hand?" ”
According to the New York Police report, her father was involved in a medical fraud case in 90 years, because he wrote a poem to De Klerk to make Mila popular, and relying on Mira's income after becoming popular, he was able to get rid of his debts without incident. Then he and his European accomplices relied on Mira's social circle to hype up their own Maozi background, absorb investment, use the money of new investors to make huge profits to old investors, and lure more investors into the pit.
"No, she has already left the United States, maybe she still has a sum of money from her father, and it is not the turn of others to sympathize. Besides, it has nothing to do with me. Song Ya said: "I have a very bad feeling, if I didn't know her, she didn't make a lot of money in 90 years, maybe his father's case would be exposed early, and that would be a good thing for her." But now ......"
Now it is difficult to say whether Mira will be able to set foot on the soil of the United States again, and the angry victims of New York and Hollywood have begun to make all kinds of arrangements for her, real and false, making it impossible to distinguish between real and false. But now that her private jet and Upper East Side house have all been frozen, she must be in a worse situation than she was in '90.
"Haha, anyway, there are legends about you in Hollywood now, they say that you are a really shrewd guy, and you have long seen through Mira's father's disguise." Hallie laughed.
"It's not that exaggerated, if that guy hadn't looked down on me in the first place, maybe I would have been cheated out of millions by him." Song Ya knew what kind of character she had, and she couldn't help but be secretly happy.
"By the way, the apple has just risen to two dollars and one, should I throw it away?" Hallie talked about stocks again.
"Hold Harley for a long time, don't keep your mind on this. Apple's share price rise is an early reaction to its upcoming Newton PDA this month, indicating that everyone is optimistic about this new concept of electronic products. ”
In order to avoid harassment, Song Ya had to say a few more words to her, "I leave the stock there after I buy it, just look at the statement sent by the stockbroker regularly." ”
"Okay, okay, I trust you." Harley, who had reaped the rewards of her $2 million investment, happily hung up the phone.
Several cases outside have something to do with themselves, but they don't need to pay too much attention, the case handlers of Mira's father's fraud case made a special trip to visit after hearing the rumors, Song Ya was very cooperative, and did not hide everything he knew, sent the other party away, and then continued to focus on his studies and preparing for the dance of my life.
"According to our agreement with Amperin Entertainment, their producers are already in place, and a list of directors has been drawn up immediately." Yeremov sent back news from Hollywood.
"I watched it, and I didn't like it."
The producers of Amperin Entertainment are all young potential directors in Hollywood, most of whom have a background in the television industry, and they are the kind of people who have directed one or two episodes of a feature-length TV series, or have won some small TV awards with short documentaries.
"Why?" Yeremov asked.
"With this kind of director, I might as well use Zach, the director and producer selected by Amperin Entertainment, and they risk marginalizing me."
There is obviously a whole movie in the apocalypse, Song Ya doesn't want to be led off the original track by a young and vigorous strange director, just be a person with basic qualities and then be obedient.
Amperin Entertainment enjoys a quarter of the production income of this film, and they did pay 3 million, but 2 million out of 3 million is the amount of DTS to expand theaters, in fact, it will cost not to make a movie, of course, it will not only Spielberg and his own two families, but only 1 million real money invested in shooting.
And they packaged the production proceeds of the quarter of the box office into a financial product and sold it to outside investors, if Jurassic Park exploded at the box office, there must be no shortage of investors who took money to enter the market, so the three million is equivalent to not having to pay for it themselves.
That's not even counting the fact that outside investors can't really take a quarter of the box office production revenue, and they have conspired with A+ Studios and Universal Pictures to use a series of clever financial tricks to hide a lot of possible future paper profits. They show no mercy to stupid investors, whose return on investment is doomed from the start, and only for those who enter the market through big insurance companies that are familiar with the rules of Hollywood, they will restrain their gray methods a little.
This kind of investment can even be extended after the release of the movie, and any videotape income and peripheral income can be recovered by similar means first.
Song Ya, who had learned all this up close, had to be more careful, nine million real money, he didn't want to be a laughing stock at that time, so he not only asked Samuel to enter the audit on behalf of Coopers, but also took the initiative to buy the insurance company's full guarantee, and used the high cost of capital to ensure that Amperin Entertainment, which undertook the production task, would not engage in moths, or find an excuse to ask for an increase in investment halfway.
Of course, he did the same, and began to fool outside investors with three-quarters of the production income he enjoyed. It's a pity that for the same movie, the same type of production income, his appeal is far inferior to Spielberg's golden signboard, and he doesn't dare to play too 'flowery' with financial means like Amperin Entertainment. In Hollywood, if you want to 'trap' people, you must also have skills, at least you can't be like the producers of Xiao Lizi's two movies in 91, just roll up and leave people when you do a project, right? He is a singer, and he can't run away from the temple if he runs away, and he has to worry about public influence.
"Zach can't, the qualifications are too shallow, Catherine will definitely not agree." Yeremov said: "You have to understand that now this project does not belong to our family, and we must be ready to compromise with each other on various matters, otherwise it will affect the progress and lose both." ”
"You know I'm very controlling, Yeremov." Song Ya replied.
"What then? You know so many directors, and Gary Gray is even less likely. Yeremov replied: "Old Larry has the qualifications to convince Catherine, but he has not made a film for more than ten years, his health is not good, and his early works are not excellent." Why don't I find a few old relationships? ”
"Old Larry?"
Song Yazhen didn't put this person on the consideration list, he ignored Yeremov's proposal to find an old relationship, "It's not bad to think about it carefully?" He and I worked very well together on several occasions. ”
"You mean the tacit agreement, that old Larry hardly refutes your proposal, right?" Yeremov unceremoniously debunked, "Dancing out of my life is not a music video, it is a film that requires the close cooperation of dozens or hundreds of professionals." ”
"You first ask old Larry if he is willing, I think it's just him, there's nothing to worry about, it's best for me to use him, I have to realize my own ideas in this movie."
Song Ya thought about it, Lao Larry is really good, at least he has qualifications in the industry, he can help him suppress the producer of Amperin Entertainment, and he can control the crew, at least there have been no problems in the previous cooperation. "I'm a writer, a star, a nominal producer, and I'm responsible for the entire soundtrack, and then I can't control the crew during the actual shooting? I can't accept this at all. ”
"I'm going to ask?"
"You ask."
"I'll talk about it first, this is a movie with a claim to be 12 million investment, as soon as I ask, Old Larry will definitely agree, and few directors with that kind of resume can resist this temptation." Yeremov is well aware of the mentality of those fringe directors, "Even if his health is not good, it is estimated that he will come to Chicago to find you in high spirits." ”
"Let him come."
Song Ya said: "Just let Zach be the assistant director to assist him, and when Catherine comes back, I will have a showdown with her, and she shouldn't resist too much." Choreographer, you also go to contact Shankman Dance Company, and remember, if Shankman still charges me a high price, then it's the same as last time, I'll just want Anne Fletcher. ”
"Wow, this combination...... With my executive producer, you'll be able to say everything in the crew. Yeremov hung up the phone.
